EK2 and EK1 "FR" matched set

[EK Hunter]

It's been a while since I was able to put together an EK1 and 2 matched set. So I hope you'll enjoy looking at these two "FRs" I picked up recently. Please let me know what you think of them. Thanks.

Best, Alex

Stunning condition

Thanks for your kind words, guys. I'm really pleased with this set.

Btw, is there a consensus on what "FR" might stand for?

FR = "Frickin' Righteous"

I was always led to believe the "FR" was probably Frank & Reif, Stuttgart.

Has that been disproven?

Can't say that I'm familiar with that maker.

the FR in a square is a so called Schriftzeichen ...

Fritz Rösler Köln Rothgerberbach 44a had such a Schriftzeichen ,,,

there is no telling if he would be the maker ,,but so far the only proven evidence of such a Schriftzeichen linked to a jeweller .



schiftzeichen from More known medal makers like Carl dillenius , HJ Wilm are in there to so ,,

for me the only real evidence that would back up speculations ..


so far ..

I think Tony is right on.

Frank and Reif is the accepted maker BUT like most
Imperial makers marks, it is really only our best guess.
